Sometimes shortened content just needs to be even shorter. <\/p>\n
So, when you need that post\/page content for a content slider or the like, give this little bit of code a go:<\/p>\n
\r\nfunction my_excerpt($limit) {\r\n\t$excerpt = explode(' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit);\r\n\tif (count($excerpt)>=$limit) {\r\n\t\tarray_pop($excerpt);\r\n\t\t$excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt).'...';\r\n\t} else {\r\n\t\t$excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt);\r\n\t} \r\n\t$excerpt = preg_replace('`\\[[^\\]]*\\]`','',$excerpt);\r\n\treturn $excerpt;\r\n}\r\n\r\nfunction my_content($limit) {\r\n\t$content = explode(' ', get_the_content(), $limit);\r\n\tif (count($content)>=$limit) {\r\n\t\tarray_pop($content);\r\n\t\t$content = implode(" ",$content).'...';\r\n\t} else {\r\n\t\t$content = implode(" ",$content);\r\n\t} \r\n\t$content = preg_replace('\/\\[.+\\]\/','', $content);\r\n\t$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); \r\n\t$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);\r\n\treturn $content;\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
